First: Apparently Tyrese is trying to rap now under the name Black Ty, which most of you probably already know by now. The sad thing is- and I'm sure I'll catch hella flack from all of you for this -dude isn't half bad. As much as I wanted to come on here and talk trash about how wack he is, he's actually better than a lot of rappers that are gettin' deals these days. For anyone who feels the urge to satisfy their morbid curiousity, you can download his second mixtape, Ghetto Royalty, for free from his website www.headquarterentertainment.com. It's mixed by DJ S&S, and guest spots include Erick Sermon, Memph Bleek (yawn), Cassidy (double yawn), Kurupt, Big Tigger, Bishop Lamont, Mane-O and Stevie Wonder (huh?).
Second: I just got the new Demolition Men mixtape in the mail, and the shit is FIRE. For anyone who thinks the hyphy movement is limited to what you see on Rap City or Sucka Free Sunday or whatever, Nothin' but Slap 3 is a taste of what Yay Area hip hop is really about right now. The mix is hosted by Dem Hood Starz and mixed by Impereal & Devro, and has a bunch of new shit and exclusives from Ya Boy, Dem Hood Starz, Planet Asia, Richie Rich, Trackstar, and a ton of other people doing big shit in the Bay right now. You can hit up www.thedemolitionmen.com to get more info.
Third: For anyone paying attention to the new Kweli joint "Listen!!!", keep an eye peeled for West Coast graffiti big timer Kofie One in the video. Anyone in L.A. should know of him and his crew UTI by now, or of his canvases, but those of you who're in the dark should check out www.keepdrafting.com to check out his work.
Fourth: Since it's looking like Youtube's gonna get mentioned in every other blog I do (and about 20% of all the responses), I better be getting some kind of endorsement deal soon. Anyways, there's a video from Streets Illestrated that got added on Youtube of Spider Loc breaking it down about being a G-Unit Crip. It's not anything groundbreaking, but it's an interesting video overall. And of course there's some talk about Game on there...
Lastly: For those of you just tuning in, this blog wraps up week two of the Left Coast blog. Good lookin' to everyone who checked in this week, whether it was to start up a totally irrelevant argument about Killa Cam diss songs, bicker about the Game vs. Ras beef, argue with my views or complain about my blog, or to just read and move on. There have been some people saying that the blog writer (me) is not even on the West Coast. Wrong. I live in Cali and I've lived here all of my life. There's also been more talk that the blog writer must not be in L.A. because he didn't know that Long Beach 20's bang black and gold. You're right. I'm Not in Los Angeles. I'm in Sacramento. 409.27 miles from Long Beach. Just to clarify.
It's been a good first week for the blog. I'll see y'all next week.

After listening to that mixtape i'm convinced that Black Ty is better than any southern rapper except T.I, Lil Flip, Scarface, Ludacris, Field Mob, Young jeezy, Z RO, Bun B, Lil Wayne, B.G,and Juvenile

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not to start no East vs. West shyt but I can understand why you yawn for Memphis Bleek....but Cassidy gets a double yawn??? Are you fuckin' serious?
Cass ain't even from NY but that ni99a would chew up, spit out and devour half the fuckin' rappers from East, West and definitely down south! And you give props to Kurupt(has been) & Big Tigger(not even a real rapper) like their special. GTFOH!
PEACE!
BROOKLYN STAND UP!
